The “Lynx Motorcoach” sets off today on its maiden voyage to meet the Canadian Wildcats. The activity bus was purchased from Wink ISD. The Van Hool bus was purchased by Spearman ISD with 133,000 miles on it. Van Hool buses are known for being able to drive up to 1,00,000 miles! With a new paint job and all imperfections removed, the “Lynx Motorcoach” looks brand new.
